NBA General Managers Predict Wembanyama Awards And Spurs Title

Elmira, NY, October 15, 2026 —

A survey of NBA general managers points to high expectations for Victor Wembanyama: respondents predict he will win both the league’s Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards and lead the San Antonio Spurs to a championship.

The predictions cover individual honors as well as a team title. The summary of the survey does not identify its organizer, say how many general managers took part, or provide the timing or full wording of the questions. It also does not include the share of respondents who selected Wembanyama or the Spurs.

The results are forecasts, not reports of awards already won or a championship already secured. No season or timeline for the predictions was provided, so the specific period covered is unclear.

The survey summary offers no additional explanation for the choices and does not include comments from the general managers. It also does not report how respondents assessed other players or teams. Without those details, the findings establish the broad direction of the respondents’ expectations but do not show how strongly those expectations were held or how they compared with other candidates.

As presented, the central finding is that surveyed NBA general managers expect Wembanyama to collect two of the league’s major individual awards and help San Antonio win a championship. The survey’s methodology and further results were not provided.
